Ubicloud is an open source alternative to AWS. We offer managed cloud services that build on top of PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, vLLM, and others.
We haven’t increased prices since setting them in 2024. Since then, our infrastructure costs have risen by more than 30%. As a result, we’re increasing prices for most cloud services by 26%. New deployments will see this price increase on May 1, 2026. Existing resources will be charged at the new rate starting June 1, 2026.
If you’re using our GitHub Actions product, premium runner prices will remain unchanged.
Why prices are changing
Ubicloud uses infrastructure providers such as Hetzner, Leaseweb, and AWS for its non-AI services. Over the past two and a half years, we saw our costs increase by 35.3% due to a combination of factors.
- Increase in RAM add-on prices by 5x
- Increase in server setup costs by up to 7x
- Increase in server lease prices by 12-17%
- US dollar depreciating against the Euro. We pay part of our infrastructure bill in Euros while charging customers in USD
We initially absorbed much of this increase, but recent RAM pricing changes made a price adjustment necessary. To continue investing in the Ubicloud platform, we decided to apply a 26% increase to virtual machines (VMs), PostgreSQL databases, Kubernetes clusters, and GitHub Actions standard runners. GitHub Actions premium runner prices remain unchanged.
New deployments will be charged at the new rate starting May 1, 2026. Existing resources will move to the new rate on June 1, 2026.
This price change affects our Germany, Finland, and Virginia regions. AWS-powered regions are unchanged. We’re also aligning Finland pricing with Germany. Below, you can find examples of price updates. We calculate resource consumption at per-minute granularity and invoice monthly.
